This is a pen I call Twindows (Twist Windows).
It is made from some East Indian Rosewood and Curly Maple , some Brass and aluminum and a cigar transmission with a parker type refill .
It is unique in that you operate the pen by twisting the inner barrel (the Curly maple part) to extend or retract the refill . It works very smoothly and has a nice feel to it , even though it's a little long . The refill is replaced by unscrewing the nib .
This pen was made for the IAP freestyle contest .

This is a Kitless Ballpoint made of Aluminum and Brass . It uses a slimline transmission and a cross type refill . It has a custom center band made of brass and aluminum . Sorry for the picture but this pen is a magnet for finger prints and dust , even after several coats of renwax .

This is fast becoming my favorite style pen to build and use .

This is a modified cigar pen made with a homebrew PR blank . This is one of my best homebrew PR blanks and I wanted a pen to really it show off but none of the normal kits would have done it justice so I made a finial operated cigar pen that allowed me to use the entire blank .
